Jan Lehnardt commented on COUCHDB-1416:
---------------------------------------
I'm sorry, but the solution here is to make couchdb give you an error if you
try to set up a vhost foo.com/bar telling you that it should just be foo.com.
I'm happy to look at alternatives to solve the problem of putting multiple
couchapps into one vhost, but this is not it.
In response to @Jason:
> 1. Your description is counter to the actual CouchDB code. Paths are valid

That is CouchDB expecting an RC2616 Host header (which can't include a path).
If anything, this is a bug, not a feature. The fact that this works is an
accident if anything.

> req.requested_path. Ryan might fill in the details but AFAIK, this will fail.
This looks like a more of a genuine issue, but I haven't been able to look at
the patches.

> In a show or list, it is impossible to construct a full url that an end user
> could use to re-request the resource, given the various combinations of
> vhosts and rewrites.
> The major one is if the vhost contains a path component, this path
> information is not passed to the show at all.
> I have created three tests that highlight the condition, currently failing
> for one test, with the two passing to prevent regressions.
